The Horizon V68 is a 70-foot luxury flybridge yacht that was launched by the illustrious Taiwanese yacht-building firm Horizon in 2019. Crafted in partnership with naval architect Jonathan Quinn Barnett, the V68 presents a sleek and streamlined form with structural flares, wrap-around glazing, gently rounded curves and a unique plumb bow entry crafted for Horizon by the design team at Stimson Yachts. Looking solid and muscular without sacrificing panache or class, the V68 has been precision-engineered for long-distance cruising, luxury at-sea living and soaking up the sun.
Enjoy magnificent views up on the flybridge, which can be configured as one breezy outdoor space or split between a climate-controlled upper-lounge with a sun-terrace to aft. Thanks to a hydraulic davit up here you can store your modern jet-tenders, while further forward there is a contemporary-themed lounge with a U-shaped leather sofa, a dining table, a walk-in bar, an enclosed head and a forward helm station. A pair of Stidd helm seats face a central dashboard featuring twin Garmin MFD screens, bow and stern thruster controls, a power-assisted steering wheel, VHF radio, a high-speed compass, ABT-Trac stabilizer switches and immense visibility.
A secluded foredeck lounge provides the perfect place to work on your summer tan, boasting a sleek and low-slung Portuguese Bridge-style sofa and a diamond-shaped sunpad with pop-up backrests for a trio of lucky guests. Trace the side-decks all the way back to the aft-deck to discover a teak-lined space with a transom sofa, an outdoor dining table in high-gloss timber, bar facilities and side-steps down to a full-beam hydraulic bathing platform and your choice of stern-side crew quarters or a water-level cabana lounge.
Folding glass and aluminum doors welcome guests into a sedate main-deck lounge with a free-flowing appeal, widescreen glazing throughout and futuristic strip lighting overhead. Materials are subject to customization, but you can expect plush carpeting, a pale oak sole, exotic grain-matched timber surrounds and accents in dark Chinese fir or walnut to lend this space a hushed and high-class appeal, perfect for sophisticated evenings spent entertaining a select group of guests. There’s a range of seating options, a walk-in country kitchen with a Jenn-Air stovetop, a convection oven and capacious refrigeration, as well as room for a forward dining lounge.
Choose between a four-cabin or three-stateroom layout on the lower-deck, with the latter option benefitting from more space to relax and unwind. A twin cabin to starboard features its own en-suite facilities, while two double staterooms at either end of this level boast queen-sized beds, dynamic hull glazing, ample storage, an optional walk-in closet and vast bathrooms lined in sculpture-grade Statuario Venato marble with shower stalls hidden behind Polyvision glass that frosts at the touch of a button
Powered by a twin-set of 1136BHP Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines for plenty of brute power, you can expect top speeds to max out at around 25 knots. A fuel tank holding up to 1,200 gallons of diesel will help you stay out on the water for ambitious voyages at an 18-knot cruising speed, while at a 9 knot economy cruise the vessel boasts a range of approximately 800 nautical miles.
